<h3>Editing an item</h3>

<p>Follow these steps to revise information about a Drop Box or a folder
or item in a Drop Box:</p>

<ol><li>In the <a href="content.hlp?docId=arcc">menubar</a>, click <strong><code>Drop Box</code></strong>.

<br /><br />
</li><li>Click <strong><code>Revise</code></strong> next to the Drop Box, folder, or
item whose information you wish to change. If you cannot see the item
you want to modify, click the black triangles to the left of "Title"
to expand the contents of all the folders. Or, click the folder icon
next to the folder you wish to expand. (If a folder contains any items
not currently being displayed there will be a plus sign on the folder
icon.)

<br /><br />
</li><li>If you are modifying a Drop Box, you can change the "Description"
field only (i.e., you can't change the name of the Drop Box). If you
are modifying a folder, you can modify the "Title" and "Description"
fields. If you are changing the information for an item, the fields
you can revise will depend on the item type:

<br /><br />

<ul><li><strong>Uploaded files:</strong> You can click <strong><code>Browse...</code></strong>
to find and select a replacement file. You may also edit the "Title"
and "Description" fields, modify copyright status, choose whether or
not to display the copyright alert, and change the file type.<br /><br />
</li><li><strong>URL:</strong> You may edit the "Title" and "Description"
fields, and enter a replacement URL.<br /><br />
</li><li><strong>HTML or text document:</strong> From the "Content:"
drop-down list, choose <strong><code>Revise document contents below</code></strong>, and
then type your revisions in the provided text box, or choose
<strong><code>Replace with document from my computer</code></strong> to choose a
replacement file (see "Uploaded files" above). You may also edit the
"Title" and "Description" fields, modify copyright status, choose
whether or not to display the copyright alert, and change the file
type.<br /><br />
</li></ul>
</li><li>Click <strong><code>Update</code></strong> to save the changes.
</li></ol>
